Is there a alternate 68kmla IRC room that people are going to? It seems like #68kmla on freenode is dying... :(

Thanks for the replies guys, I will be purchasing a long torx screwdriver and from there remove the batteries from my collection as while they do get usage they definitely do not get daily usage as much as I'd like them to

I have a collection of vintage compact macs, they are: * Mac Plus * Mac SE FDHD * Mac SE/30 * Mac 512k * Powermystic Color Classic * Takky Color Classic and I was wondering what would be the best things to do to help preserve their working state? Should I take out the pram batteries? They...

If I try to push the processor down to seat in its socket the front will comply: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3416/sany0023si5.jpg but the backside does not: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4343/sany0021np7.jpg'>http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4343/sany0021np7.jpg . If you look at...

Hello I have opened it and have found that the seller shipped it to me with the processor desocketed! Here is a image of the processor in its current state: http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/1088/sany0019xt6.jpg I am unable to put the processor into its socket however because of this...

Hello, I have received this PowerMystic Color Classic: http://web.mac.com/mruben/iWeb/Site/PowerMystic.html , it powers on fine, I can hear the fans and the drive spin up but I never get anything on the display nor hear any bong. This is all I see (blue led indicates that it's powered on)...

I don't mind buying modded macs as long as they are done with some form of taste...upgrading a 128k isn't really killing it but rather increasing its usefulness which makes sense for the times when the 128k/512k was actively used. A 128k upgraded to a 512k may be a collectible in its own right...

Nothing can replace the good 'ol Apple bong sound when you turn on your mac :)

How do you feel about the logging of the #68kmla irc room? The idea would be to log the room with the logs broken up by day such that should the room ever deteriorate to a state of non-usefulness it would be possible to make the logs public so that information shared in the room is not lost...

Haha you got me, that is my market :p ...good enough IMO. I also have the takky on there too, see if you can find it. :D So far the listings are way below what I paid so we'll see how things turn out...

I paid for both the silver and the black modded macs at the price he requested. However I am doing some research as to what "the market" perceives the actual value of the macs to be and will be asking for the difference less shipping to be returned to me after the conclusion of my research. I...
